About the Course
Functional and Esthetic Crown-lengthening Procedures
Restorative dentistry as an art and science has made impressive advancements both in techniques and materials that could be utilized to restore teeth. However, dentists are still often encountered with situations that the remaining tooth structure above the gingiva is not adequate to provide predictable and long-term restorative success. Additionally, in today’s world, esthetics and harmonious smiles are not considered “luxury” any longer. More patients are visiting their dentists every day asking for ways to improve their “gummy” or uneven smiles. Unfortunately, despite the increased demand for functional and/ or esthetic crown-lengthening, the clinical reality is that these procedures remain underutilized or abused. This course aims to provide the necessary knowledge and an evidence-based approach to functional and esthetic crown-lengthening procedures. An evidence-based review of concepts, indications/ contraindications, surgical techniques, and different approaches to enhance surgical outcomes and consequently long-term restorative stability and success will be provided.
